Quaker Oats Company In 1850 Ferdinand Schumacher founded German Mills American Cereal Company in Akron, OH. Quaker Oats registered as the first trademark for breakfast cereal. The trademark was registered with the U.S. Patent Office as "a figure of a man in 'Quaker garb.'" Both former owners, Henry Seymour and William Heston, claimed to have selected the Quaker name as a symbol of good quality and honest value. Cadbury cocoa In 1824, John Cadbury, a Quaker, began selling tea, coffee and drinking chocolate in Bull Street in Birmingham, England. From 1831 he moved into the production of a variety of cocoa and drinking chocolates, made in a factory in Bridge Street and sold mainly to the wealthy because of its high production cost. In 1847, John Cadbury became a partner with his brother Benjamin and the company became known as "Cadbury Brothers". Coca-cola Invented on May 8, 1886. Confederate Colonel John Pemberton, wounded in the American Civil War and addicted to morphine, also had a medical degree and began a quest to substitute for the problematic drug. In 1885 at Pemberton's Eagle Drug and Chemical House, his drugstore in Columbus, Georgia, he registered Pemberton's French Wine Coca nerve tonic. Pemberton's tonic may have been inspired by the formidable success of Vin Mariani, a French-Corsican coca wine. Still, his recipe additionally included the African kola nut, the beverage's source of caffeine. Shredded wheat Henry Perky invented shredded wheat cereal in Denver, Colorado, in 1890 and founding the Cereal Machine Company. In 1895, Perky received the United States Patent Number 548,086, dated 15 October 1895. Perky first sold his shredded wheat cereal to vegetarian restaurants in 1892, distributing it from a factory in Niagara Falls, New York. Fig Newtons Until the late 19th century, many physicians believed that most illnesses were related to digestion problems and recommended a daily intake of biscuits and fruit. Fig rolls were the ideal solution to this advice. They were a locally produced and handmade product until a Philadelphia baker and fig lover, Charles Roser, invented and then patented the machine in 1891, inserted into a thick pastry dough. Red Rose Tea Red Rose Tea is a beverage company established by Theodore Harding Estabrooks in 1894 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Estabrooks began his career in trade imports and exports and soon moved specifically to the tea trade. Realizing the inconsistency in loose leaf servings, Estabrooks began packaging his tea leaves into single-serving bags to ensure quality and consistency in every teacup. Colman's Mustard Colman's (est. in 1814) is an English manufacturer of mustard and other sauces, formally based and produced for 160 years at Carrow, in Norwich, Norfolk. Colman's is one of the oldest existing food brands, famous for a limited range of products, almost all mustard varieties. Pepsi Pepsi was first introduced as "Brad's Drink" in New Bern, North Carolina, United States, in 1893 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his drugstore where the drink was sold. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia and "Cola," referring to the cola flavour.
